Disclosure Scotland has published new guidance to help organisations understand their responsibilities under the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme.
The new guidance includes:
Community Placement Guidance
New guidance for foster care, kinship care and adoption services to help organisations determine when PVG scheme membership is required and when alternative disclosure checks may be appropriate.
Regulated Roles at Another Organisation’s Premises
New guidance has been published to clarify responsibilities where regulated roles are carried out at premises operated by another organisation, such as schools, hospitals, care homes or community facilities.
The guidance includes practical examples and explains who is responsible for obtaining PVG checks in different circumstances.
Resources for Organisations
Disclosure Scotland’s resources section includes guidance, videos, webinars and e-learning materials to support organisations in understanding their legal obligations and using the PVG Scheme effectively.
Find out more and access the latest guidance on the Disclosure Scotland website.
